Fathers in suits and ties and daughters in formal dresses dined and danced at the Daddy Daughter Dance in Glencoe on Feb. 10.

The Glencoe Park District event drew about 160 participants to the Takiff Center. Officials said the dance has been held for about the last 20 years.

“We had a better turnout tonight than we did the last couple of years,” said Liz Visteen, special events manager. “This year we hired a balloon artist to do all our centerpieces. The girls get to take home a piece of the decorations.”

Brian Burbrink and his daughter Josephine, 3, were first time attendees.

“We talked about it with her and she’s been very excited all week.” Burbrink said. “(My wife Carolyn) and Josephine picked out the outfit.”

The park district holds a mother and son event, Mom & Me Date Night, in the spring
